Beloved
by Corrine Michaels
Not enough.
Catherine Pope has never been enough. Every man she has ever loved abandoned her—from her father to her fiancé. She finally accepted the fact she would never be enough to hold any man’s heart and soul.
Then Catherine met Jackson Cole.
When her world literally collided with the sexy former Navy SEAL, everything she always believed is turned upside down and left scattered. He made her feel alive and desirable, consumed her with fierceness and loyalty—which completely unnerved her. Jackson got her in a way no one ever had, giving him the power to destroy her.
If she breaks down and gives him what’s left of her battered heart—will he protect it? Or will Catherine become an irrelevant part of yet another man’s life?
Will she get the one thing that has always evaded her – to finally be someone’s beloved?
Random Facts about Beloved
#1 Jackson's name was not always Jackson Cole.. up until
about 2 weeks before it went to the editor it was Jackson Grant
#2 I rewrote the entire first 4 chapters 2 weeks before it
went to the editor.
#3 Jackson was NEVER supposed to be a Navy SEAL.. If I
showed you my original outline you'd probably ask when I was going to write
that book.
#4 I have about 25,000 words in deleted scenes.
#5 Each of the men's names (other than Jackson) are named
after actual SEALs we know in our life
#6 I have actually done that obstacle course .. ish I think
I may have blacked out after.
#7 The girls names are all middle names of my friends ... If
I ran out (or didn't like) the middle names their last names are there so I
have a special place for each person.
#8 I knew the ending of Beloved and that's when everything
in the MS changed.
#9 I HAVE to write to music! If I don't I can't write more
than 100 words. Yet I can't read to music! Weird.
#10 All of the "places" they go are real. There is
really the restaurant they go to (I had my 30th there).. the lighthouse really
does over look the bridge/tunnel ... I'm going to visit next month and I want
to take pictures.
#11 I was a Navy wife for 13 years so all the things they
talk about with "manning the rails" or getting on base and especially
Jackson's childhood are all very realistic. I wanted it that way. It's how we
live.
#12 My best friend's husband is a SEAL, I've watched her go
through so much and I tried to really portray some of the things she went
through...
#13 The prologue is actually my 9th birthday.
#14 The prank wars are all real. I promise! Military guys
are all HUGE into initiations and the pepper spray really did happen to my
husband. I hate his friend still.
#15 My ex did in fact cheat on me but no I never
walked in on it.
#16 The ending was supposed to be Mark not Aaron, but I
loved Mark so much I couldn't do it.
